Spring RTS Engine

is there a way to extract a height map from an existing map? can i retrieve it somehow from the smf file?

Goolash.

yes, however, it's AF's map AI and he hasn't seen fit to update it to the current spring version.

I really want it back tho, that thing was frickin handy.

+1000. Definitely the most useful groupAI after metalmakerAI. Theres some maps I would like to remake (texture more than anything else) and all the source files are on my old PC in the depths of harddrive madness. Someone give AF a hardy poke :)

oh well, guess i'm gonna have to give AF a hardy poke

Can somebody get AF on this?

What map is it. Maybe the one that made it can send you the
height map of it.

The latest dev build of L3DT pro can do that, post a link to the map and I will extract the heightmap for you.

You load the map in L3DT and export the heightmap.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

I posted that in February and believe me when I say I have no clue why I wanted that or of what map i wanted a heightmap of.

That said, I appreciate everyones willingness to help
If i ever find out why i wanted that I'll be sure to let you know.

Interestingly, you can also export the texture. In fact, I remade riverdale the other night (not releasing to anyone, I was just screwing around :) using the original texture with some Photoshop modifications.

You know a thread is old when you don't even remember posting in it. ^^

So the latest l3dt can export not only the heightmap but also the texture-map!?!!? That is really cool since I still haven't been able to retrieve the source files to some of my older maps off my old hard-drive..

It can also export the metal and feature maps.
